Question

$3 = \frac{g}{ - 4} - 5$what does g equals ?

Answer 1

To solve the equation, first, add 5 to both sides

$\begin{gathered} 3=\frac{g}{-4}-5 \\ 3+5=\frac{g}{-4}-5+5 \\ 8=\frac{g}{-4} \end{gathered}$

Now, multiply by -4 from both sides of the equation

$\begin{gathered} 8\cdot-4=\frac{g}{-4}\cdot-4 \\ -32=g \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of g is -32.
